Despite significant improvements, the game still struggles to win over fans. In a recent discussion, Paradox Interactive&#8217;s deputy CEO <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradoxinteractive.com\/media\/press-releases\/press-release\/mattias-lilja-appointed-as-deputy-ceo-of-paradox-interactive\">Mattias Lilja<\/a><\/strong> and chief creative officer <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/person\/123630\/henrik-fahraeus\/\">Henrik F\u00e5hraeus<\/a><\/strong> opened up about the Cities Skylines 2 development flaws identified before the game&#8217;s launch.<\/p>\n<h2>Paradox Addresses Development Flaws in Cities Skylines 2<\/h2>\n<h3>Early Recognition of Issues<\/h3>\n<p>Lilja admitted that they noticed Cities Skylines 2 development flaws even before release. &#8220;We saw some flaws for the games before release, but we didn&#8217;t really think that it was that serious,&#8221; F\u00e5hraeus said. This acknowledgment highlights the challenges faced during development.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact on Player Trust<\/h3>\n<p>The game&#8217;s turbulent launch affected player trust significantly. Colossal Order CEO <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fi.linkedin.com\/in\/mariina-hallikainen-39720915\">Mariina Hallikainen<\/a><\/strong> mentioned that restoring this trust would be challenging. Multiple updates have improved the game, but there&#8217;s still work to be done to address the development flaws fully.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/igamemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Cities-Skylines-2-development-flaws-2-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Cities Skylines 2 development flaws (2)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Competition and Market Position<\/h2>\n<h3>Concerns About Competitors<\/h3>\n<p>When asked if they&#8217;re worried about competitors capitalizing on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradoxinteractive.com\/games\/cities-skylines-ii\/about\">Cities Skylines 2<\/a><\/strong>, Lilja admitted it&#8217;s a possibility. &#8220;We don&#8217;t dominate that genre like we do with grand strategy, so it&#8217;s a more vulnerable position,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<h3>Focusing on Game Quality<\/h3>\n<p>F\u00e5hraeus emphasized their inward focus. &#8220;We look mostly at the quality of the games as they are, rather than worrying too much about competitors,&#8221; he explained. Addressing Cities Skylines 2 remains their primary goal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/igamemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Cities-Skylines-2-development-flaws-3-1024x512.webp\" alt=\"Cities Skylines 2 development flaws (3)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Moving Forward After Development Flaws<\/h2>\n<h3>Engaging the Player Community<\/h3>\n<p>To overcome the development flaws of the Cities Skylines 2, Paradox is increasing player engagement. &#8220;We have more beta tests, talk to them, listen to their feedback better,&#8221; F\u00e5hraeus said. This approach aims to rebuild trust and improve the game.<\/p>\n<h3>Positive Trends and Future Outlook<\/h3>\n<p>Momentum seems to be shifting positively. Victoria 3, another Paradox title, improved its Steam rating after addressing issues. Although Cities Skylines 2 currently has only 53% positive reviews, the team remains hopeful. &#8220;We are going to make these games great,&#8221; F\u00e5hraeus assured.<\/p>\n<h3>Recent Articles<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred Update Goes Live - The Best Time to Join\" href=\"https:\/\/igamemag.com\/en-gb\/diablo-4-vessel-of-hatred-update-goes-live-the-best-time-to-join\/\">Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred Update Goes Live &#8211; The Best Time to Join<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Former Bethesda Developer Quits Starfield - Too Many Meetings Led to a Solo Project\" href=\"https:\/\/igamemag.com\/en-gb\/former-bethesda-developer-quits-starfield\/\">Former Bethesda Developer Quits Starfield &#8211; Too Many Meetings Led to a Solo Project<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Detroit: Become Human Sales Record - 10 Million Copies Sold in 6 Years!\" href=\"https:\/\/igamemag.com\/en-gb\/detroit-become-human-sales-record-10-million-copies-sold-in-6-years\/\">Detroit: Become Human Sales Record &#8211; 10 Million Copies Sold in 6 Years!<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first anniversary of Cities Skylines 2 is approaching on Thursday 24 October.
